Holy shit, a ska album on a ska blog?So when ska went through its "third wave revival" during the nineties, most bands were doing the "punk with horns" formula popularized by Less Than Jake and the like. As somewhat of a rebellion, there were some bands trying to revive the more traditional sound of ska, such as Hepcat, The Pietasters, and The Slackers. When I was first discovering the third wave of ska, I didn't dig this bands too much, since my idea of ska was the pop punk of Goldfinger. After I stopped being a picky twelve-year-old, however, this album grew on me. Like a tumor. This album has a pretty damn relaxed vibe to it most of the time, even when discussing heated aspects of politics. This is the only album I've listened to in full by this band. I should probably fix that.
